Cold River

Really really lovely stay here. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Good laundry service and AMAZING breakfast - one of the best we have ever had in SE Asia. Really recommend.

We had the best stay at cold river!! Lovely owners, great location, clean and nice rooms. And the absolutely best part was the breakfast, which was included for us. It’s a very quiet and nice area with a super nice front yard. We were scammed at the first hotel we checked in at, and you can be confident it won’t happen here. Can absolutely recommend staying at this lovely hotel.

I had a great time stayed at Cold river. Their breakfast was super! Owners and staffs are super friendly! Room was clean and in a very calm area.Totally recommended for the stay and would stay again

An excellent stay at Cold River! I was a little nervous about my room as it is listed as having no window (I was worried that it would feel claustrophobic). But my room was great! There is an internal window, so you do get a little natural light (but you'll still need the lights on when in the room). But I certainly didn't feel too trapped by it! The decor is lovely and everything is clean. There is a kettle in the room and tea and coffee provided. And a water dispenser in the hall (always appreciate this to avoid plastic bottles!). The breakfast was excellent and plenty of it (your choice of eggs, a plate of fruit, a small bowl of yogurt and muesli, crepe/pancake, baguette). The location is nice too and only a short walk to the main tourist drag. The laundry service they offer is great (line dry rather than tumble dry, so your clothes are treated with better care). There's a lovely cat that I made friends with 😻. The only thing I can think of that I didn't love was the pillow was a little too firm/large for my preference. Overall I can definitely recommend staying here.

Nice place with a lovely river view, tucked down a quiet street and in great location for walking to everything in Luang Prabang! Hotel offers a nice breakfast and free water in filtered fountains throughout the hotel. However, the rooms felt like they needed some TLC though. The aircon didn't work on heat setting so we were sometimes cold and other bits were just a bit inconvenient such as broken locks and lightbulbs in the room, and the toilet missing some screws in the base which let a sewage smell into the room. From expedia it was not clear our standard double balcony room came with a wet room instead of a bathroom which was a bit annoying as once showered we got wet feet every time we needed to use the bathroom!

Stayed here for a couple of nights, great room! Strong ac, hot water in the shower, some amenities in the room, small tv, comfortable beds Great breakfast and friendly staff!

The room was clean and comfortable. The view from the balcony on the nearby river was really picturesque. Breakfast was really good and homemade. Staff was helpful and assisted us with booking transportation to Kuang Si Waterfalls. Location is a bit off-centered but all tourist spots are easily accessible on foot or with a short tuk-tuk ride.

Horrible experience at this hotel. The balcony door in my room is locked by a pair of sliding bolts. The bolts are so loose and worn they dropped by themselves, locking me on the balcony. I was locked out for ages in the heat and eventually had to climb over the balcony to get to reception, injuring myself in the process. The staff did not seem like they cared at all just shrugged and said yeah that happens in this particular room a lot. No one apologized and just nonchalantly said they'll have a look after I check out. Horrendous behavior.
